<p>i don't want to say anything for sure, but you look like a good applicant. relatively well balaned with your courseload and your ec's. my sat composite and act scores were the same as yours and i got in (waitlisted, but i didn't have all your ec's i suppose) do you have any sat2's? those might help.</p>

<p>overall, i think you have a really good chance of getting in</p>
